Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Bites On The Shoulders, Back And Thigh?
My daughter has bites that are on her shoulder (three in a row) and two on her back and one on her thigh. None feel itchy, but they look very similar to what I ve experienced from bed bugs. Especially given they are in areas that are extremities exposed during sleep, it makes sense these would have been places a bug would have bitten. We also have been at a beach rental for the past 5 days. Thoughts?
The symptoms of your daughter seem to be related to bug bites. I suggest giving her Cetirizine in the evening to prevent itching. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
